One of the suspects demanded an employee hand over “Norcos,” addictive acetaminophen and hydrocodone, while the other two helped themselves to Hydrocodone and Oxycodone pills, police said. The suspects then hopped back over the counter, fled the store and started running toward Trancas Street.

The suspects were arrested Oct. 16 after hitting the CVS on South Coombs Street. Again, the young men jumped over the pharmacy counter, forced pharmacy workers to hand over controlled substances and fled. Police located them as they were throwing items out of the window of a vehicle heading south on Highway 29.

Harrell and Miller submitted their pleas in court on Tuesday.

Harrell, who police say lied about his age when contacted on Oct. 16, pleaded no contest to felony robbery and felony looting during a local emergency.

The maximum penalty for both charges is up to 8 years in jail and $20,000 in fines. Harrell will serve two years in state prison, according to his plea agreement.
